NFL Mock Drafts

Someone the other day asked which of the draft picks -- outside of the first one, that is -- I considered a slam-dunk, and I didn't know what to say.

The reason: I'm not even sure of the first pick. Never have I seen a draft this unpredictable, with talent so widely dispersed and no conviction about a quarterback anywhere.

Translation: Anything is possible Thursday. I expect a flurry of trades, especially with quarterback-needy teams trading into the bottom of the round, but until or unless that happens here???s what we have:

Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M: It's either Fisher or Joeckel, and with Fisher off the board, the Jags take the next best tackle. It makes sense. If they're invested in Blaine Gabbert they better protect him.

3. Oakland Raiders

(4-12)

Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida: There are so many needs here, but this is a club that just lost both starting defensive tackles. I think I'd start there.

4. Philadelphia Eagles

(4-12)

Dion Jordan, OLB, Oregon: I still like Geno Smith here, but I can't see Chip Kelly passing on Jordan. There's too much talent, plus there's the familiarity.

Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina: The Packers could go for an offensive lineman or outside linebacker, too. But with the contracts of B.J. Raji and Ryan Pickett up after this season they're going to need insurance.
